Taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize poverty wages.

Corporations with record profits can afford to pay workers fairly β€” and raising the wage helps everyone.

Vance's public remarks cast his wife's faith as a kind of problem to be fixed, a soul yet to be "moved." It's the image of a husband proselytising to the woman who has only ever supported him. She gave up her career for him. Trusted him enough to make three children with him. This feels like betrayal dressed as piety.
The thing with J.D. Vance is, he may have been great so far as a husband, but he feels the pressure now, the closer he gets to the oval office. And instead of standing up to it, he's bending. Rather than defending his wife's dignity, he's giving in to the noise, treating his wife's faith like a political liability all while trying to please the MAGA base that treats it like a revulsive blot.
As a husband and a leader, he has a responsibility to do better. But he is recklessly monkey-balancing at best, and at worst, joining in on the religious harassment of his own wife. It's a terrible look. It reeks of weak morals and tacit betrayal-in love, and in leadership.

JD Vance, at a Turning Point event honoring Charlie Kirk said he wants Usha to convert.

As an Indian woman, I’m offended that he doesn’t respect his wife’s choice to follow Hinduism. Her religious beliefs & ethnicity are a liability. Is it not important for kids to embrace mom’s heritage?

The right questions why naturalized citizens often vote Democrat, but the answer isn’t that deep. We literally have to pass a civics test, study government structure, and prove understanding of democracy just to gain the right to voteβ€”some of us take that privilege seriously. #Pinks #Momsky

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Hurricane Melissa Literally Made the Earth Shake Hundreds of Miles Away Seismometers picked up the ferocious winds and waves of Hurricane Melissa, showing how the tools can be used to better understand storms today and those from the past

A fascinating new piece for @sciam.bsky.social by @squigglyvolcano.bsky.social about Hurricane Melissa being picked up by seismographs. Because the seismic record began long before the satellite era, we may be able to use older seismograms to learn more about past storms. πŸ§ͺ

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.

A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.

While you’re paying more for groceries, Trump is building himself a new ballroom and buying new private jets. You deserve better.
